Happy with our ten year old Mercedes S320 CDI

Ten years ago we had to buy a new car. We drove a Mitsubishi Carisma and had a serious encounter with a truck. The car was just not total loss and after repairs we had problems to open the windows and doors. What a joke, that happens when the insurance company forces you to repair a car that should be total loss.

First we considered buying a BMW but we found the interior of the car a bit compact. The Mercedes models were more spacious. It was a very expensive car and we thought twice about buying it.

Our car is still in excellent shape, looks fine from the exterior and inside and gets us everywhere. The diesel engine has already 430.000 km on the counter and we hope to increase this in the coming years. It seems that quality pays off and that the car was not as expensive as we originally thought.

She's a beauty. You can't beat German cars. We had a BMW for years and loved it. We are only little people so there was plenty of room for us. Hope you have many more years of fun travelling the roads.

Mercedes is a nice car, and you bought wisely.We have 3 cars for 2 people, the oldest is a Madza 6 cylinder, it's like a sports car, then the Audi, then my husbands Nissan 4 wheel drive, and none of these cars have a lot of km on them..
